"Reflection" 8x10 oil on linen

As a raw vegan, I don't have a toaster in my possession, and I painted this one from the photo for DPW challenge . As I  was painting though, I decided to pay a visit to a Good Will and buy a shiny toaster just to have it in my collection of still life props . It was really fun to paint .

It's for sale too: $ 250.00, free shipping

Golden Hohloma is a bright phenomenon of Russian folk arts.  Traditionally hohloma tableware items were produced in the monasteries and were designed primarily for the Zhar's Court.
Here is few pieces I have in my collection.
As hohloma is solely native to Russia , the lemons on the other hands are not :-)
Price is 150$ , free shipping

Thank you for interest in my art

"Rencontrer Des Cafés" oil on board 10x 16

I called it "Rencontrer Des Cafés" which  translates as
 "Cafe Encounter" ,
and this is another painting challenge from "Day not wasted" site.
The number of pieces I painted today  is 4. The number of pieces I'm happy with is 2 . And it's alright .
Painting maraphones give me deeper understanding of techniques, materials and style.
I definitely found my "surface" - it's linen, only linen.
Painting on linen with "Rosemary and Co" brushes and Da Vinci oil is a pure joy!!!
 This piece is for sale - $ 500.00
